Life Skills Academy

New Day provides a menu of brief, practical life skills courses that are available to any youth entering one of New Day’s services. These courses provide youth with the concrete development of a skill, along with an experience of rapid success and a sense of increased confidence and competence.

These courses include such topics as food and nutrition, job preparation, community involvement, money management, gardening and music among many others. When appropriate, courses are followed with opportunities for job mentorships and apprenticeships.
